Killed teacher after sex affair-Now Ahmad Nazari gets sentence reduced
Ahmad Nazari strangled his teacher to death after a love affair, and was sentenced to 11 years in prison by the district court after a reduction (due to his age). Now the high court has reduced Nazari's sentence further, to 9-1/2 years in prison given that he suffered from a serious mental disorder when the murder was committed and that he had turned himself in.
The Afghan citizen, Ahmad Nazari, who strangled his 69-year-old teacher after a love affair, has had his sentence reduced by the High Court, reports Expressen.
The district court sentenced Nazari to 11 years in prison and deportation after his sentence is served. But Nazari appealed the sentence to the High Court.
"He maintains that he did not intentionally take the life of the woman, he wants his sentence lowered," said Nazari's lawyer, Anders Olssen, to SVT (Swedish Public Television) in connection with the appealed sentence.
Now his prison sentence has been lowered by 1-1/2 years, which means it is sentenced to 9-1/2 years in prison. The deportation after sentence served remains in effect.
The high court took into account that Nazari was judged to be suffering from a serious mental disorder when the murder was committed and that he voluntarily turned himself in.
The normal sentence for murder, according to the high court, is 14 years in prison for an adult, but since Nazari was 19-years-old when the murder was committed, he received a reduction for age.
